For Alinsky, morality is a scam. Morality is the cloak of power. Activists appeal to the language of morality but recognize that it is a mere disguise.

In action, one does not always enjoy the luxury of a decision that is consistent with one's individual conscience. . . . You do what you can with what you have, and then clothe it with moral garments."13 In
